Stocks-The stock market today
showed some improvement, but the
gain was very slight and was confined
entirely to interest in a few stocks
during the afternoon. Itshowed little
evidence of a general improvement,
the forenoon being intolerably dull
and featureless. The tone was mod
erately firm throughout the greater
part OF the day. Encouragement was
given to the bulls by the moderate
purchasers for foreign account, by the
feeling that trouble in the anthracite
regions will be averted and by the con-
hdent feeling in regard to Southern
securities. Reading, Fort Worth and
Denver and New England monopo-
hzad the larger portion of the fore
Moons business. Later in the
day the Southern securities became
active and decidedly strong, East
Tennessee being special feature.
The improvement was based on. the
prospect of the declaration of q 5 per
cent. dividend on the frat preferred.
The San Francisco stocks and North
western were also active and strong,
The ma ket was firm to strong at the
opening, advances over last nights

toned was decidedly weak, but San

strength. After the fist hour there
was no apprecisbls movement in the
general list, but the L sat Tennessee
became strong. In the afternoon,
however, there was more animation,
accompanied by an improvement in
values In which the entire list shared.
Fort Worth and Denver also rallied
sharply. After a slight reaction,
toward 2 o'clock p m. the firm tone
was again renewed, though the close

ments over the opening prices. Sales,

by fractions only. Fort Worth and
